    Jesus titty-fucking Christ. If someone like George Soros were paying people to vote for Harris, right-wingers would be losing their collective shit and flinging it at the moon.

    The double standard is amazing.

      The double standard is amazing.

      “Yes, but I’m right.”

      They think their collective belief in the correctness of their group identity is more important than law. This explains why right-wing politics doesn’t care about consequences.

      They don’t care about truth, or consistency. They care about power. Specifically, the power of their in-group.

      Conservatism has been aptly summarized as “There must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out-groups for the law to bind but not protect.” That’s pretty much the whole thing. Conservatives are, in a kind of fundamental way, bad people. They value the in-group far too much.
